Broncos_orton_throws_584f
There weren't exactly a whole lot of fireworks, but Kansas City managed a hard-fought 7-3 win on the road in Denver. Fantasy Spin: Kyle Orton had 180 yards and no TDs passing, while the Chiefs only score came on a Dexter McCluster run. He finished with 61 yards rushing and the score. Dwayne Bowe was off to a great start, with 93 yards receiving on 6 catches, but had to leave shortly before halftime due to a probable concussion.
